Hairline crack? Bit of scrim? No… It’s slightly worse than that

by

We had a call from a customer who had a crack in his wall. A previous plasterer had ‘fixed it’. And the crack came back..

I suggested that we remove the area to investigate the reason there was a crack as they don’t just appear for no reason. It turned out the other plasterer had just put some self adhesive plasterboard tape over the cracked surface and skimmed the wall. When we looked we found that it actually needed some reinforcement work before re-plastering. Getting the job done right first time really will save you time and money

          

 

           

We build walls too… but for ensuite bathrooms!

During a recent project our customer asked if we could create space in the bedroom so they could have an en-suite bathroom.

So we did… And we created a nice bull nose external angle too to keep the flow of the room as you entered from the landing

              

              

               

                

                 

Creating a feature shadow gap

by

The specification on this job were ‘no skirting boards’. This meant we were asked to create a feature shadow gap at the bottom of the wall. We created this by fixing stop beads around the base of the wall and plastering to that line.
